Here is my weekly status and giveaway. I also talk about an OST track that I like. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway. I chose a track from a game that I played in the past.
Refreshing Sunlight
I chose Refreshing Sunlight as this week's track because today was the birthday of a relative, and I was out most of the day because of it. I wanted something more peaceful, and what better track than this. It's simple, but for some reason, I just feel calmer when I listen to this track. This tracks plays in Trials of Cold Steel when you are in Trista. I don't remember exactly all the points where it was played, but I believe it was played during the scenes where you see what other people in Thors/Trista are doing before giving you back control. This track just stuck out to me, and I love it. I don't see as many people put this in their top Kiseki tracks, but I think it can be up there in my top relaxing tracks to listen to.
I think about Trista when I see hear this track. Trista is the city where Thor's Military Academy is located, and it's a fairly small city. So the image above kind of better reflects the mood that I think of where people are just peacefully moving about. The image comes from the wiki for Rean Schwarzer.
Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Current Status
I gained 171k STARBITS over the past week. It was another busy week, and I didn't have as much time as I would like. It includes the missing Saturday as I put my post up one day earlier last week. Either way, I think it's a decent direction as I missed one millionaire mission since I was out most of today. I wasn't lucky with any epic or legendary cards this week.
Current Ranking
My rank stayed the same, and it looks like my time played dropped. I think its because I did shorter missions rather than putting more longer missions instead. I thought I would come back once the previous one was done, but I kept forgetting.

I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.
- Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
- Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
- Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
- Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
- If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
- If you have more fans than skill and you won't reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
- Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards- Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
- When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
- Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
